Shit Aph Turkey Does

Let’s start with a simple test. Click this link here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ It will tell your IP adres, your ISP (internet service provider), and your location. The location might not be very accurate, but then again, it’s just a simple website. Imagine what the government can do!

So basically, everyone can find out where you live. But there is more danger. Your ISP. Your ISP logs your every move online and they are required to keep it in case the government wants access to it (or if a 3rd party wants to buy your data (yikes). They have everything. What websites you visit. How long you stay on a website. What you download. Your search terms. European laws are more subtle on this but if you are from the US you are #@*#&, especially because Trump doesn’t support the open internet. It’s scary but maybe in the future you can’t get a job because the recruiter knows your searched on ‘how to deal with depression’ or anythings else that’s supposed to be private because it’s your f*cking right. Or you get a $100k fine because you pirated a movie 15 years ago. You need a VPN. You’re dumb for not using one. but what does a VPN do?

A VPN encrypts all your data so if it were be intercepted no one can ‘crack the code’ and damage your privacy. 

Usually being online goes like this (simplified): Your computer —-> ISP (—–> keeps data —–> sells it)

But with a VPN it goes like: Your computer —–> VPN (encrypts data)—–> ISP (ISP can’t see shit)

Furthermore, a VPN hides your IP address and location by giving you another IP address located in Spain for example (you can often choose from a list and change as many times as you want).  

Now that you know why you should get a VPN and what is does it is important to educate yourself because people often choose the wrong VPN. VPN providers are also businesses and have to obey the law. If you choose a VPN provider located in the US then you are throwing your money away because the laws in the US shits on your privacy. If the US gov wants the provider to give all their logs they have to obey.  The ISP  still can’t see what you are doing online and sell your data but the US gov can interfere with your VPN provider so NEVER CHOOSE A PROVIDER LOCATED IN THE US. 

I just wanted to make that very clear so my followers don’t buy false security.

There is still more danger!  Who says your VPN provider isn’t selling your data? You need to check their logging policy. Do they keep logs? If yes, what for? For how long do they keep them? Tip: Choose a provider who doesn’t keep logs

More about law  The US is part of the Five Eyes program (the worst):  

The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are bound by the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence (source)

There is also a Nine Eyes (bit better) and Fourteen Eyes Program (better).  You don’t want a VPN provider who is located in one the Five Eyes countries.  If you had to choose go for a provider located in a country that’s part of the Fourteen Eyes Program or even better, go for a country that isn’t part of any program! 

I know this is a shitty explanation and please pardon my english but now it’s time to do your own research. Take your privacy seriously. Maybe WWIII breaks out and you get killed for liking the ‘wrong’ FB-page.  

Go to this website: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/simple-vpn-comparison-chart/

Make sure that your future VPN provider both has green boxes for Privacy Jurisdiction and Privacy Logging. 

I recommend ovpn.se and trust.zone. ovpn is located in Sweden so they are part of the 14 Eyes Program and they keep minimal logs. Their business ethics, however, are alright. 

Trustzone is located in the Seychelles. No country can interfere and their privacy jurisdiction is the best you can get. The US want your data but needs to get it from Trustzone? The Seychelles will simply give them the finger and wave them goodbye. However, this makes this provider very appealing for people who torrent and criminals because they keep no logs (and that is how it shoud be) Also,  there are almost no marketing efforts so this provider is one the cheapest)

Also, often providers such as ExpressVPN are being called ‘The Best’ on websites about VPNs but know that this is just marketing which also makes those provider more expensive (and they too shit on your privacy)

This must be the worst article you have ever read but please, please take your privacy very seriously.

Trust.Zone has a free trial. Use it. 

btw this post only has 11k notes? That’s quite disappointing for something this important. 

Ottoman Empire:

OKAY WHAT THE HECK I WAS WONDERING WHY THIS SIMPLE ASK GOT SO MANY NOTES AND THEN

THERE ARE MORE

I live in Turkey. Just a while ago, I lived in Diyarbakır, a province in Turkey located in the southeast of the country. None of you probably know this, but a war happened in there. The riots, however quiet, started in the summer of 2015. My mom, sister and I were visiting relatives outside the city and then we saw news about the riots happening there. Terrorists bombing busses, killing so many innocent people. My dad warned us to not come until it had settled down a little. I was forced to go to a school in the village for the first days of school.

When we finally returned to Diyarbakır, it had settled down. But there were lingering glances, people began telling the difference between police officers and soldiers. The children of police and soldiers were all discriminated, by both teachers and other kids. In schools strictly for the children of police officers, Kurds began helping each other to go there until the children of police officers were in the minority and discriminated.

But last year, it all went to hell. Bombs, machine guns, pepper sprays... We were at war. I lived about 800 meters away from the war. Just some lousy 800 meters... And I had to go to school in that kind of situation. I had to study, sleep, wait for the bus listening to the sounds of bombs and machine guns. When I got in the school bus, I'd wonder if people would start shooting the bus when we exited the complex made for soldiers and their families. I'd wonder if the building next to us would explode. I saw tanks in traffic, going to fight in the war and provide backup. In the streets, police officers stood with machine guns in their hands.

Don't get me wrong, not all Kurds are bad. I have Kurd friends I absolutely love. Some of them even gave me hope, that this'd all be over some day, that Kurds and Turks could finally learn to live together again. But the majority of Kurds are the same ones who made this war happen. Who are still terrorizing us. Who are killing innocent people. And yet, why are they getting support? Why is the world supporting them, when they are taking innocent lives? So many people had to study for an exam that would change their life, or work while listening to the bombs THEY PLANTED. Hearing the war THEY STARTED. And yet, somehow, WE are the BAD GUYS.

But the only reason the world supports them is because they don't know what we're going through. Kurds keep on saying that we are bad people, that the government always neglects them. Well, I have lived in Diyarbakir. Everywhere, there are expensive brands that I have only seen in America. All of their roads have asphalt, whereas some villages in the west don't even have roads. The expensive brands that are expensive even in America are cheaper in Diyarbakir. People in Diyarbakir don't even have to pay for electricity.

But no one knows this. No one even knows that Turkey went through a mini-war. That Turkey is still going through some sort of civil war. I'm only talking about Turkey because I know all the details, but there're so many more countries out there that are also not getting the recognition they deserve. Syria, Egypt are only two of those countries.
